  Are you an inclusive human who says pregnant person? Or are you an extremist?
• 0:08
  Are you an extremist to insist on saying pregnant woman? That's exactly the
• 0:13
  sort of thing an extremist would say, thanks, pregnant. And I want
• 0:16
  to talk about this comment. It's a comment that I've gotten every single time
• 0:20
  that I talk about being pro choice. Pregnant person, you mean mother?
• 0:24
  Actually no, I don't. I mean pregnant person as someone who is currently
• 0:29
  pregnant. I do not feel like a mother. I feel like a person
• 0:33
  who is pregnant, a pregnant person. I am not yet a mother.
• 0:37
  I will be a mother. I am excited to become a mother, But
• 0:40
  currently I'm just a person who is pregnant. Well, you do you?
• 0:44
  But seems like a weirdly demeaning thing. Doesn't it a demeaning thing to do
• 0:50
  to yourself? Why not just call yourself like a labor unit? I don't
• 0:54
  know. It feels kind of dystopian to me. Now. The other response
• 0:57
  I get anytime I use the phrase pregnant person instead of women or mother,
• 1:02
  is this one you mean women? No, I don't, I mean pregnant
• 1:06
  person. This is a classic right wing talking point by people who are transphobic.
• 1:10
  They love to say shit like, but only women can get pregnant biologically,
• 1:14
  which okay, But they love to say that because it's true. Right,
• 1:19
  that's the whole thing. They love to say it because it's true.
• 1:23
  First of all, trans men can get pregnant, so can non binary people,
• 1:26
  neither of whom are women. Oh jesus, okay, what's that again?
• 1:34
  First of all, trans men can get pregnant, so can non binary
• 1:37
  people, neither of whom are women, even if you're the most just saying
• 1:41
  that they're not women, that that just saying that they're not women is not
• 1:46
  evidence of anything. That doesn't prove anything. Okay, women can get pregnant
• 1:53
  because they have the reproductive organs that allow for that. Only women have those.
• 2:00
  Saying that, no, well, some men have those. Because I
• 2:02
  say that, that doesn't mean anything. It's gibberish. You're asking us to
• 2:07
  believe in some metaphysical, abstract notion essentially, the you know, with gender
• 2:14
  as the progressive soul, right, this metaphysical thing, and of course this
• 2:20
  is all a religion, so gotta have a soul, right, So gender
• 2:23
  is the progressive soul but that doesn't say anything about biology, but doesn't say
• 2:30
  anything about how we are a sexually dimorphic, sexually reproducing species. That's just
• 2:36
  the way it is. I'm sorry. It doesn't matter if you cut your
• 2:40
  hair short and put on a gene jacket. Okay, you're not James Dean,
• 2:46
  right, You're still a woman. Anyway. Let's continue its transphobic piece
• 2:50
  of garbage. And you think that anyone assigned female at birth is a woman
• 2:53
  despite what their current gender presentation might be. It's still factually incorrect to say
• 2:57
  that only women can get pregnant, because that's ignoring the entire intersex community,
• 3:01
  any of whom do not fall into the binary of man or woman but can
• 3:05
  still get pregnant. They always drag this out, this exception that proves the
• 3:10
  rule, you know, just I'm sorry that that proves absolutely nothing. And
• 3:17
  if you can get pregnant, you're a woman. Okay. A deformity doesn't
• 3:23
  change that. The other thing I find so ridiculous about people who have a
• 3:25
  problem with the term pregnant person or birthing person that the only reasonable way you
• 3:30
  can have a problem with that is that you don't actually believe that women are
• 3:34
  people, because the term pregnant person encompasses anyone who can get pregnant, including
• 3:38
  women. Using more inclusive terminology to talk about pregnancy and birth does not take
• 3:43
  anything away from women, unless, of course, you think that a woman
• 3:46
  isn't a person the term pregnant person encompasses. None of this makes any sense.
• 3:50
  What does that mean? I don't know. I don't know, Pierre.
• 3:53
  I'm trying to understand, but I just can't because I think it's because
• 3:58
  it's it's it's gibberish. I think it's some of that COMMI gobbledegook. All
• 4:01
  right, let's see what the internet has to say about this. Let's see,
• 4:05
  I'm an extremist. Women have wombs, men do not. You see,
• 4:10
  that's just a fact, is the thing, that's just the irrefutable,
• 4:14
  that's the proud extremist and believer in biological reality. Yeah it is. I
• 4:18
  mean, if it weren't so kind of maddening, it'd be fascinating that biological
• 4:27
  reality is considered extremism by these people, by these lunatics. I mean,
• 4:31
  just think about that. I mean, we really have gotten to a different,
• 4:35
  a different place. This is the cultural revolution, this is the maoist
• 4:39
  cultural revolution taking going on in the West. Reality has now become extremism.
• 4:46
  Facts are extremism. It's astonishing. It's astonishing how this crept up on us
• 4:51
  while we're all asleep. Oh, it's just a bunch of crazy kids in
• 4:55
  the universities. They told us. Yeah, well they got out of university
• 5:00
  and now they're running institutions. Mmmmmm
